1390520 2014-12-18 06:37:00 My son works from home online. He has 3 daughters. Recently his work was held up because his Broadband allocation had run out. He discovered that 2 of the girls had been watching 80GB of videos. I am looking for software that will monitor the data traffic going through the wireless router showing the address of each computer. The only program I can find only monitors the computer which it is installed in. An alternative would be software that disabled the connection once a preset limit was reached.

Any help would be appreciated.

Software on a PC is too easily disabled.

Cheaper than buying a new router ,if they don't pay invoke the sex and travel clause
